Raccoon  Craft

The raccoon toilet paper roll craft is a fun and easy cut and paste craft that uses a toilet paper roll as a base to give it a three dimensional effect.

Check out the Action Raccoon Song and the Raccoon Song to go with this craft.

A different looking raccoon tp roll craft can be found here.
  

Materials:

  • toilet paper roll, 
  • a printer,  
  • something to colour with, 
  • scissors, 
  • glue,
  • paper

Instructions:

  • Print out the template of choice. 
     
  • Colour (where appropriate) and cut out the template pieces. 
      
  • Glue the large rectangular piece on first to cover the tube.  Toilet paper rolls come in different sizes, so if you find the rectangle is a bit too big, just trim it down.  If you find it's a bit too small, just cut out another small piece to fill in the gap.
      
  • Glue on the head, legs and arms
      
  • Cut out the tail and fold it in half so it's colored on both sides
    • Glue the halves together
    • Bend the tab and glue to the back of the tp rolll (using the tab to make a 3D effect)
        
  • We typically make the crafts as if they're sitting up on their haunches as it's easier to construct them.   (I think the raccoon looks cuter this way)

Templates:  

  • Close the template window after printing to return to this screen. 
       
  • Set page margins to zero if you have trouble fitting the template on one page (FILE, PAGE SETUP or FILE, PRINTER SETUP in most browsers).
